MarkovModel

abstract class MarkovModel<Parameter, State> < Model

Markov model.

Attention

MarkovModel is deprecated. The preferred design now is to inherit directly from Model and override the simulate() and simulate(Integer) functions to define a Markov model.

The joint distribution is:

\underbrace{p(\mathrm{d}\theta, \mathrm{d}x_{1:T})}_{\text{joint}} = \underbrace{p(\mathrm{d}\theta)}_{\text{parameter}} \underbrace{p(\mathrm{d}x_1 \mid \theta)}_{\text{initial}} \prod_{t=2}^T \underbrace{p(\mathrm{d}x_t \mid x_{t-1}, \theta)}_{\text{transition}}.

A model derived from MarkovModel overrides the parameter(), initial() and transition() member functions to specify the individual components of the joint distribution. The MarkovModel class itself overrides the simulate() and simulate(t) member functions of Model to call these more specific functions internally.
